It's important to keep in mind that these Taiwanese reports don't always reflect Apple's production cycle. Often times, the information comes from an unnamed industry source and is subject to change—that is, if it's even accurate in the first place.

The reports do align with information reported by Reuters last month that said Apple could start ramping up production for its next generation iPhones as early as May.

Apple is expected to release two new versions of the iPhone this year— one with a 4.7-inch screen and another with an even larger 5.5-inch display.

The 5.5-inch version may be delayed until next year, however, as Reuters reported that Apple was having difficulties producing displays using its in-cell technology in that particular size. Both phones would represent a noticeable increase in size from the 4-inch screens on Apple's current generation iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c.
